                      <li>Running WOW in windowed mode and squeezing the chat window down enough that the last few lines of chat are visible at the bottom of your screen.</li>
                      <li>There are several &#145;always on top&#146; applications for windows, but I have not used them. Please <a href="feedback.html">contact us</a> if you have found something that works.</li>
